Saikkonen (1991) developed an asymptotic optimality theory for the estimation of cointegrated regressions. He proposed the dynamic OLS estimator obtained by augmenting the static cointegrating regression with leads and lags of the first differences of the I(1) regressors. However, the...

This paper considers issues related to testing for multiple structural changes in cointegrated systems. We derive the limiting distribution of the Sup-Wald test under mild conditions on the errors and regressors for a variety of testing problems. We show that even if the coefficients of the...
